In
JOHN DIES AT THE END, it’s all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an
out-of-body experience with each hit. Users drift across time and dimensions.
But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion
is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John (Rob Mayes)
and David (Chase Williamson), a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold
down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No.
No, they can't.

Adapted
from David Wong’s audacious trans-genre horror novel, JOHN DIES AT THE END is
written and directed by Don Coscarelli (BUBBA HO-TEP) and also stars Clancy
Brown, Glynn Turman and Paul Giamatti.

DIABOLIQUE MAGAZINE gets Exclusive Interview from The
Soska Twins, complete with previously unseen behind the scenes photos from
their new body horror film AMERICAN MARY!

NEWS BREAK! - Diabolique Magazine announces their exclusive and in-depth interview with the Soska Twins in Issue 14 available at newsstands and bookstores in early January, 2013. Jen and Sylvia Soska give Canadian body-horror a nip and tuck.The thematic undercurrents of American Mary, and even Dead Hooker in a Trunk —namely, the messiness of sexuality, and the plight of being a woman in a man’s world — are as tightly bound together as the self-proclaimed “Twisted Twins” themselves. Jen and Sylvia Soska spoke with Diabolique at length about the intersection of their personal and professional lives, and its creative impact on their ever-evolving body of work! Log on to: http://horrorunlimited.com/Issue-No.-14-Jan-Feb-2013.html for more details and to pre-order your copy of Diabolique magazine Issue 14 now!

Nominally, American Mary is cut from the cloth of the Canadian body-horror of David Cronenberg, but its torture sequences and characterization owe more to the feminist fervor of Takashi Miike’s Audition than the dystopia of Videodrome. As a hyper-violent inversion of Colin Clive’s mad scientist archetype in Frankenstein, Mary calls on her surgical kit not only as a tool for experimentation, but as a weapon to exact bittersweet revenge.

In a moment of reflexivity, writer-directors Jen and Sylvia Soska lay on operating tables adjacent to one another, exchanging smiles and locking pinkies before going under the surgical knife in their sophomore feature, the blacker than black horror-comedy American Mary. Preparing to undergo a procedure that will re-attach one of each of their limbs to the other’s body, the on-screen Soskas, billed as “Twin #1” and “Twin #2,” offer viewers a mirror image of their unified, off-screen collaborative dynamic. Fresh off of their tour of the international film festival circuit, the Soskas assure Diabolique: “We take absolutely no offense to you attributing one of our quotes to the other.” Before we begin our interview, Sylvia adds, “We share one brain, but two bodies.”

When
it comes to movies Dougie and Robbo know what they like. And there is nothing
they like more than a night in watching one of Big Al’s latest downloads -
especially if it’s a horror film featuring five babes alone in a big house.

Big
Al is the neighbourhood bootlegger and they depend on him for a constant diet
of blood, gore and nudity and whatever else he thinks will satisfy their
craving. They always expect surprises.

Will his latest offering, the horror film Sacrificed, live up to their
expectations?

The
film SACRIFICED was made a few years ago by Keith Bradley and it was a film
that fell short of Keith's ambitions and we knew that realistically it had
little prospect of a release. It was, however, a film that delivered on a
number of levels and we therefore decided to experiment with the addition of
the dialogue from these new off-screen characters viewing the film as a
present-day download. One of these voices is Keith himself and he was thrilled
at the prospect of handing over to director Jim Hickey to complete the task of
helping his film find an audience.

In
making THE DOWNLOAD HORROR we have tried to be fair to the original SACRIFICED
film, so the audience can enjoy whatever pleasures it offers and hopefully a
balance has been struck between this and giving the two guys free reign with
their own brand of Scottish humour. The new film’s ultimate success with
audiences will therefore depend on how successful their comedy is in enhancing
the enjoyment of the original film.

The
film has been supplied to them by “Big Al” - on whom they depend for a regular
quota of gore and nudity - and as THE DOWNLOAD HORROR unfolds, we share their
joy or dissatisfaction as they assess how much Big Al lives up to his
reputation. So the two friends are unable to contain their excitement about what
they are seeing, but are also quick to deliver snap judgements - praise as well
as put-downs - about individual scenes and moments as they watch. They
communicate their love of the horror genre while their own distinctive humour
is unrestrained.

“Somebody
attacked Archie, and that somebody must have been a zombie, because last time I
checked, the dead didn’t wake up, stinking of putrefied flesh, and try to
bloody eat us. Not even in Scotland.”

So
begins the nightmare for ballsy Glasgow couple Emma and Scott. Gone is their
cozy lifestyle as they team up with sexist macho man Mustafa, zombie expert
Kenny, and a man who chose the wrong day to become a suicide bomber.

As
they try to flee the city, they have one goal: don’t get bitten by the dead
bastards.

When
Nancy Kerr walks in on her parents’ killers, she’s raped and left for dead.
Fourteen months later, she wakes up in a psychiatric hospital with no knowledge
of how she got there. Slowly her memory starts to return. Released from the
institution, she has just one thing on her mind –revenge.

Two
men brought hell to her family home. Now they’re in for some hell of their own.

Trapped underground at the world's largest particle
accelerator, a group of students make a deadly discovery.

DECAY is a zombie film made and set at the LHC, by
physics PhD students. The cast includes Zoë
Hatherell, Tom Procter, Stewart Martin-Haugh, Sara Mahmoud, and William P.Martin.

Written
and Directed by Luke Thompson

Produced by Michael Mazur, Luke Thompson, and Burton De WildeH2ZZ Productions

More
about the film:

Made by physicists, it is set at the Large Hadron Collider, and centres
around zombies created by exposure to the newly-discovered Higgs boson. Writer
and director Luke Thompson, a University of Manchester Ph.D. student,
originally conceived the idea in February 2010, after joking that the tunnels
under CERN would be ideal for a zombie film. With a budget of approximately
£2000 and a regular cast and crew of only 20, the team built a camera
shoulder-mount from copper pipes, made fake blood from golden syrup, and
scavenged props from dumpsters. It was shot on borrowed digital SLRs including
the Canon 5D Mark 2: consumer cameras which have recently been used to shoot
parts of movies such as Iron Man 2, Black Swan and the season 6 finale of TV
series House. Editing and digital effects were done on a home computer with
Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Check
out the official US poster for STOKER, starring Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode,
Dermot Mulroney, Jacki Weaver and Nicole Kidman

STOKER
opens in theaters March 1, 2013.

Synopsis:
After India's (Wasikowska's) father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie
(Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally
unstable mother Evelyn (Kidman). Soon after his arrival, she comes to suspect
this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling
outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with
him.

Deep
in the heart of the unforgiving Australian desert lies Pine Gap, a top-secret
government facility operated by the United States military. When the base
comes under attack from unknown forces, an elite team is sent in to extract the
military scientists. They encounter a beautiful young woman with no memory of
how she came to be in the base, and find it overrun by disturbed patients from
the base’s medical sector.

But as the squad delves deeper it becomes clear that there is something
far more sinister – and far more dangerous – going on at
Pine Gap. A taut thriller that recalls the best classic sci-fi action
films, Crawlspace is the feature debut of Justin Dix – an award
winning special effects supervisor who has worked with George Lucas and Roger
Donaldson
